Schneider DBV 102 | Fuse Base | 32A, 500V, 10x38mm, DIN Rail

The Schneider DBV 102 provides secure mounting and connection for cylindrical fuse links. This fuse base accepts 10 mm x 38 mm cartridge fuses for circuit protection applications. It supports both gG (general purpose) and aM (motor protection) fuse types. Weighing only 0.05 kg, the Schneider DBV 102 mounts easily on a DIN rail. Its dimensions measure 55 mm x 20 mm x 45 mm.

Electrical Ratings and Connection Features

The Schneider DBV 102 handles 32 A of continuous current at 500 V AC maximum. This fuse base features screw-type terminals for secure and reliable wire connections. It accepts wire sizes from AWG 20 to AWG 10 for flexible installation. Moreover, the Schneider DBV 102 includes finger-safe terminals that meet IP20 protection requirements. Consequently, it prevents accidental contact with live parts during maintenance.

Energy Storage and Safety Indicators

The Schneider DBV 102 contains no energy storage components like batteries or capacitors. This passive device requires no external power supply for its protective function. The fuse base features a built-blown fuse indicator that shows when the fuse needs replacement. It also includes a striker mechanism that activates auxiliary contacts on request. Therefore, the Schneider DBV 102 provides clear visual status indication for quick troubleshooting.
